Integration of Python with MatDeck software

[babicmatpy]

Hello everyone,

I discovered a new software MatDeck, which makes possible to write and execute the Python code in MatDeck documents.

As stated at the webpage https://labdeck.com/data-acquisition/pro...n-matdeck/ :

In MatDeck, programming is commonly done using MatDeck Script with C++ style. However, due to the increasing popularity of Python, especially among newcomers, MatDeck has been enriched with a new feature of programming in Python. MatDeck’s framework allows simultaneous text editing, script language coding (including both: MatDeck Script and Python), GUI capabilities, and data visualization. Beginners in programming may prefer Python for their first steps. However, if a greater processing speed is required the option to execute MatDeck documents and Script codes at almost C++ speed using “Build And Run Exe” option still remains. This where maximum computational speed is needed, there also exists the possibility to write low level processing procedures in C++ language and then add them in as plug-ins.

Is this idea interesting to Python community?

I searched PyPi and didn't find a single reference to this software (out of 178,423 projects).
So it's either very new, or no one has considered using it. Perhaps an interface project for yourself.

I have tested a software. A Demo version is free and offers several interesting features such as text editing, programming in MatDeck Script and Python, flowchart drawing, 2D graphs, audio equalization using graphic equalizers, and project management. All this can be performed within the same document which I haven’t seen before.

MatDeck is easy to use, with an intuitive interface; furthermore there are user manuals available on the website.

There are many examples and studies for Math, Digital Signal Processing, Physics, Chemistry, Data Visualization, Wavelets, Data Acquisition and even Artificial Intelligence which can all be found on the website. They are not available in the free demo version, but there are several licensing options.

Here is an example how Python can be combined within MatDeck document.

Again, looking at supplied website, there's only a three page document (most of which is about installing python) for using this package with python. Looks very early in the project.

There are several new examples at MatDeck website about integration of Python and MatDeck. The MatDeck script code and Python code can be used alternatively within the same document. There is an example which shows use and exchange of variables between MatDeck and Python. It is very interesting to see how fft from Python scipy can be used and compared to MatDeck fft. It is great option to perform text editing, and Python programming, use data visualization within the same MatDeck document.
